Rave Note? Death Rabbids?

Two things I love lately are Death Note, the anime specifically, and Rayman: Raving Rabbids. Well, sort of: I love the teasers and promos and such, but I've yet to play any of the actual games, much to my chagrin. Someday, though. It's a little old, but new to me, and...

Sonic Unleashed

Couldn't let the weekend pass by without saying something on this one. A little over a week ago, I got to report (you guys do follow my stuff on Kombo, right?) on SEGA trademarking a new name for a new game: Sonic Unleashed. Figured we'd hear something sooner or later...

Xbox 300

One year ago, very nearly to the day, I posted some scans from Wizard Entertainment's Toyfare magazine called A Goombah With A View. And apparently, quite a few people liked it. This year, Toyfare has returned to the realm of video games for their newest Twisted...

Best Buy Gamers Day ’07

So, I went to Best Buy's Gaming Invasion '07 yesterday last week (so much for prompt posting), and it was filled with fun and with disappointment. The highlight for me was finally getting my hands on some Wii games I had not yet been able to play, and so naturally,...

Master Chief Masters Geeks

Sorry folks, no update tonight due to lack of sleep; I'll try and get one done in the morning. But, it's not all bad, at least for some, as this means that I get to specifically highlight one item I did promise I'd put up tonight. Bryan "DarkMoogle" Carr and Geekspeak...

Like many games, the Contra series has seen its share of ups and downs over its 20-year history, starting off as one of the definitive "must-play" NES games, a third-party icon of gaming alongside the likes of Mega Man, Double Dragon, and Ninja Gaiden, among others....

Parallel Peach

So awhile back, I did that article to celebrate Super Mario Bros. 2, and point out its contributions to the Mario mythos as a whole, and why it should be considered a true Mario game, even putting forth the idea that maybe it was originally meant to be (I never saw a...

Retronauts vs. Virtual Console

Meant to bring this up yesterday, but it somehow fell off the radar. One part caught my eye in particular: "Somebody coming in with absolutely no knowledge of Nintendo's back catalogue would look at the Virtual Console lineup and deduce that Nintendo was a game...

Let’s Get Ready To BRAWL!

Special update: GameTrailers has the Nintendo World 2006 trailer for Super Smash Bros. Brawl. Snake fits right in, amusingly enough. And look, a Mario Kart stage! Looks like some old stages come back, and some changes for others; Mario Kart looks like a revised F-Zero...

Happy Birthday, Mega Man!

Not a huge thing, but I thought it was neat, and wanted to mention it before I forgot. Over at the Penny Arcade forums' thread for Mega Man ZX, Neo Rasa had the following piece of information: " Probably very old news, but today is my birthday and my DS is configured...
